With nearly $3 million bridged, our canonical stablecoin $USDC.e is running smoothly 💵 Our complete guide will help you maximize its benefits: 🌐 Bridge to USDC.e on #Fantom 🌊 Provide liquidity on top DEXs https://blog.fantom.foundation/the-complete-guide-to-usdc-e-on-fantom/

Say hello to $USDC.e, our canonical stablecoin (stay tuned for bridging instructions) 🎉 USDC.e is a bridged stablecoin on Wormhole and can be upgraded to native $USDC by Circle. Learn what's required for this upgrade to happen on #Fantom 👇 https://blog.fantom.foundation/usdc-e-on-fantom-the-pathway-from-bridged-to-native-stablecoin/

We are thrilled to introduce another angel investor joining our round! 🤝 Michael Egorov is the founder of Curve. Curve Finance is a decentralized exchange and automated market maker designed for the efficient trading of stablecoins and other assets. Curve has committed to launch on Sonic 👏

We are excited to announce that Fantom's canonical stablecoin, $USDC.e, will launch tomorrow (April 5), supported by Circle and Wormhole 🎉 USDC.e on Wormhole is bridged from native $USDC, located in a smart contract on Ethereum, and holds the potential to be upgraded to native USDC in the future. It will be the official, endorsed stablecoin of the #Fantom ecosystem (and all future network upgrades). This initiative reduces liquidity fragmentation, introduces stability, and provides additional on-ramps onto the ecosystem. By leveraging the Wormhole Native Token Transfers (NTT) standard, USDC.e will be available to all users and developers on Fantom: 💻 Developers: Build on bridged USDC with a contract address that will persist even if there is an upgrade to native USDC. No code change needed to support the new asset. Find the tools here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@wormhole-foundation/wormhole-connect.  👥 Users: Store, pay, trade, borrow, and lend with bridged USDC that would automatically become native USDC should there be an upgrade. No need to swap to the new asset. 🌍 Ecosystem: Avoid the time-consuming liquidity migration process of educating and incentivizing users to move from bridged USDC to native USDC should there be an upgrade. We'll be providing liquidity for the canonical stablecoin on Wormhole, making it easy and accessible for users to bridge assets to Fantom and unifying on-chain liquidity. Should a mutual decision be made between Circle and Fantom to upgrade to native USDC, all USDC.e tokens seamlessly transition to native USDC without the need for developers to update any contract addresses or swap to the new asset. 🔄 RT + share: https://x.com/FantomFDN/status/1775887091995447700
